"It is such a compliment to be asked to join," said Segura-Totten, who is the Harry B. Forester Eminent Scholars Chair at 果冻传媒. "UGA is a powerhouse nationally in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education research."
According to the SEER website, the center's mission is to facilitate cutting-edge research in STEM education through multidisciplinary interactions and research collaborations among a community of scientists from different colleges, departments and medical partnerships. Research areas include basic and applied research grounded within STEM disciplines and informed by evidence-based theory in educational and social sciences.
Segura-Totten said that evidence-based teaching is important to her.
"Evidence-based teaching is when you teach based on what has been published to work best," she said. "For me, it's the best way to teach because it benefits students the most."
